Miri is an island in Sarawak Malaysia (Borneo) near the borders of the Kingdom of Brunei. Simply put it is a land blessed with natural resources (sea, lakes, mountains, fields and the first island of Malaysia to pump oil from their land and water, read: PETRONAS/SHELL), where people are simply dressed but everyones' got wheels, and finally where BATA shoes go on sale with prices that makes me wish I can carry them all to Singapore!
I had a "Miri Christmas" with my new friend Vilma (thanks Och!). She graciously invited me to spend Christmas with her in Miri, and with little hesitation, I went ahead and booked a flight. I was in Miri for 6 days (from the 20th of December to the 26th) and I think I made a wise move after all.
Vilma's warm welcome and great company made me feel at home for the rest of the time I was in Miri. I can feel her hospitality even when we are doing nothing at home...ok, i admit, what gave her away was her kind treatment to my ruined "Menudo" Ahahaha!
It was a simple Christmas spent in good company. We went to parks, beaches, but the most fun is when we hit the road with little or no clue if we are on the right track. :) No worries here.. just pure adventure.
